Hi amjad ! In simple word your spine bend in some place which compressing your spinal nerve giving you weakness and sensation in legs. Apart from pain medicine, do hot compress by warming salt on stove, pour in a bag and give warm compress. Then apply pain ointment too. Consult with doctor for future treatment. Take care Recover fast. Bye.
